Estimat Mençei, members of the Ziu,
For reasons of accountability I wanted to give a full update of activities within the ministry of STUFF since the start of this term. I will hopefully be able to do another full update at the end of my term, but I wanted to do an update before the last clark so Cosa members still have a chance to ask questions, voice criticisms and take this information into account for their final vote on the government. Questions and comments, in this thread or in the form of terpelaziuns are very welcome.
Status of MINSTUFF Activities between 1 February and 28 July 2017
Social Media
New passwords have been set for Talossan facebook, twitter and instagram accounts for security reasons and to make sure the minister. can see who has access. The ministry has been given access to the old Kingdomoftalossa since 1979 facebook page. One post was made on this page referring people to the main Talossa facebook page. 22 tweets have been twat and 16 posts and replies have been posted on the pagebook page. These relate among other things to national holidays, cabinet level appointments, coin sales and the midterm referendum. Additionally cabinet officers outside MinSTUFF have used the instagram account to post pictures of microcon. The number of followers on twitter since 1 February have increased from less than 180 to 203 and number of followers of the facebook page have increased from 84 to 110. Work on protocols for social media use has not started yet.
Talossaware
A Talossaware Czar has been appointed. He has created a number of designs for t-shirts. However personal issues have prevented him from setting up the sale of these items online. The current plan is for other officials to set up the sale of talossaware. However, this has not been given priority.
Website maintenance
The ministry is behind on its provisional schedule for website maintenance.
The scribe has been contacted with regards to the law pages in the section national government. As a result of this he has been given access to edit the site in order to update these pages. The other pages in the section national government have at some point during this term been updated, with exception of the list of ambassadors on the cabinet ministries page. The chief of staff page and the history of seneschals have been deleted. The latter has been copy pasted in a pdf file and linked on the Seneschal page as a historical document.
All 8 regional offices have been revived. This has lead to the pages of Atatürk, Benito, Cézembre, Fiôvâ and Florencia being updated. The remaining three provinces, Péngöpäts and the realm page have not been updated yet
A page has been created for the sale of coins. Coins and Stamp have been placed in a separate section on the menu.
The performing arts page in the culture section has been deleted after ensuring all the information could be found on the wiki (and posting on the wiki what couldn't be found there already). The ministry is currently in the process of making sure all terms in the glossary can be found on the wiki. Once completed, the glossary will be deleted as well. After that similar actions will be taken for the literature and organisations pages. The main culture overview page has not been updated yet.
The royal archivist has been contacted about the royal archivist pages. As a result of this he has been given access to edit the site in order to update these pages. The SoS and the Civil Service Commissioner have been contacted about their pages. This has not lead to anything yet. The remaining pages in the monarchy have not been updated yet, which the exception of a fixed link on the treasury page.
Work has started on a protocol for updating Talossa.com, but this is running behind on the actual updates.
A notice has been placed on Kingdomoftalossa.net about the site being outdated and directing visitors to talossa.com
Website hosting
Discussions have been held with many Talossans, most notably His Majesty about webhosting. A full update on the current situation and plans can be found here. One bill has been proposed with regards to this issue.
Wiki
A post has been made reminding Talossans to update the wiki. Sadly this has resulted in more likes than actual work being done.
Terpelaziuns
One terp has been received by the Ministry. This has been answered within the 7 day limit. Follow-up questions have also been answered.
